You still haven't mentioned whether you bought new or used. If new, don't worry about it until you're ready to flush the whole system. If used, I would just flush it immediately. If you can't flush it immediately, I would consider the ranger protocol an acceptable solution to postpone the flush temporarily (I would still flush it asap).

I don't think it's that big of deal to mix the fluid as long as they are the same spec. However, I wouldn't do it unless I had the exact same fluid (that's just my OCD). Also, I only bother with the ranger protocol as the first step to a flush to minimize the dirty fluid that is bled through the lines.
